William Burns Obituary

With solemn reverence, we commemorate William Burns (Lincoln, Nebraska), whose life came to an end on April 26, 2026 at the age of 78, leaving behind cherished memories. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

Though William may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those William touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Ralph Burns and June Burns (Westerlin); and his sister Jean Hesser. He is survived by: his wife Barbara Jo Burns; his sons, Bart "Stu" Burns and Brandon Burns (Jana); and his grandchildren, Nicholas Burns, Sydney Burns and Madison Burns. He is also survived by nieces, nephews and numerous friends.

In lieu of flowers memorials may be directed to his family for a later designation.
